Sellersville Officer Suspended After Probe By Bucks County Da Police

A Sellersville police officer has been suspended following what was termed an "extensive investigation" by the Bucks County district attorney's office.

Sellersville Borough Manager Richard Coll said yesterday that Dennis Huber, a patrolman with the department since 1981, was suspended Dec. 23.

The district attorney's office was asked in October by borough officials to investigate allegations made against the patrolman, according to Dale Reichley, first assistant district attorney.

Reichley said the Bucks investigation failed to turn up sufficient evidence to support a criminal arrest.

Two weeks ago, Reichley said, representatives from the district attorney's office told Sellersville officials of the investigation's findings.

Sellersville legal representatives subpoenaed the records yesterday, according to Reichley.

"We will make those records available to Sellersville borough for their use in whatever manner they deem appropriate," he said.

Reichley declined to specify the nature of the allegations.

Coll, saying the borough considers the suspension related to personnel matters, declined to release further information.

He said that on Monday, Borough Council is to determine what action to take regarding the suspension. Council may decide to continue the suspension, lift it and reinstate Huber, or fire him, Coll said.
